This talk of this year so far in music has made me think that I really think I like last year better, so far. Here were my top albums of 2001:

01 REM - Reveal
02 Gorillaz - Gorillaz
03(tie) Lifeboy - In the Reverb of the Sounds We Made Together
03(tie) Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
04 the Features - The Beginning
05 Ben Folds - Rockin' the Suburbs
06(tie) Travis - The Invisible Band
06(tie) the Dave Matthews Band - The Lillywhite Sessions
07 Clinic - Internal Wrangler
08 Radiohead - Amnesiac
09 Weezer - The Green Album
10 the Strokes - Is This It

is this it by the strokes was the best album of 2001, hands down.

however, i also enjoyed "The photo album" by death cab for cutie, "poses" by rufus wainwright, the self titled stephen malkmus album, as well as the nuggets II box set (which is fucking awesome, i might add). those are the albums that really blew my mind last year.

2001 was a great year. I agree with the Strokes & BF & Weezer & Rufus W. & of course the Features. I'd also add:

The Shins- Oh Inverted World
Circulatory System- self-titled
Beulah- The Coast is Never Clear
Built to Spill- Ancient Melodies of the Future.

Hmm...I will agree with Weezer's "Green" and The Features. "Is This It" was really amazing and whatnot, but in my retarded opinion "Veni Vidi Vicious" is hands down my favorite album of 2001.

*swedish accent* America loves the Hives, and I loves the Hives.

Preach it!

Guess I don't need to add these to the mix, and everything I would have said has been said. What can I say, this board has some excellent taste.
